Hunter: Tonight, Germain joins the hunt

"Sure enough, they are rats." Germain raised the flamethrower nozzle and pushed the button, and the flames roared loudly, "a large group of fat and smelly rats."

The dozen or so mice that first pounced on Germain were quickly swallowed up by the flames, as if they had jumped into the fire ring of their own initiative. Their squeaks were sharp with pain, and the smell of smoke filled their nostrils.

The remaining rats were either squeezed by the later rats and fell to the dry floor of the cave and fled in a hurry, or they turned around and shrank back into the elliptical black hole and disappeared.

German first pointed the nozzle of the flamethrower at the elliptical black hole and sprayed a burst of flames. When he saw it gradually shrinking, he turned the nozzle and burned the rats that were flying around at his feet.

After a while, the ground was covered with sparkling, burnt fat rats. There were more than thirty of them by visual inspection. The rest all ran away, and the elliptical black hole also shrank until it disappeared.

"It seems that this group of rats teleported the three of us to different locations in the cave. When they get together, they can create a "teleportation cave", but the threat of a single one will drop sharply. "

"Pressure +6"

Germain felt the oppression brought by the darkness from the changes in pressure value, but he still did not speed up his pace. Instead, he maintained the current pace and rhythm and continued to move forward.

Going faster does not mean leaving the cave faster. On the contrary, acting cautiously may be safer and save time.

On the dark road ahead, he encountered two more attacks from rats in the wall.

He dealt with it as usual and did not let these disgusting little beasts take a bite.

"Pressure +6"

German silently counted the time intervals between these several increases in pressure and found that they were all different, perhaps because the flashlight and flamethrower were used as light sources.

But generally speaking, in the dark, it is a more fair judgment to increase the pressure value every five minutes on average.

As he walked, he saw from the flashlight beam and the flamethrower's tongues of flame that he saw a slope in front of him, the bottom of which was filled with piles of gravel.

"Want to go up one floor?"

Germain stepped on the rubble and climbed up step by step. Suddenly he heard a rumbling sound and vibration from above, as if something was hitting and rubbing against the stone wall.

He lowered his body and climbed up more carefully and steadily until he reached the end of the slope and saw the entrance to a cave.

The trembling sound did not stop, and it was not too far away.

Germain walked into the new tunnel, first let the light of the flashlight explore the path, and then observed the changes around him.

"Pressure +6"

Compared with the cave tunnel on the lower level, this place is obviously more spacious, enough to accommodate a tank vehicle passing by, and the air is not as turbid and dull as below.

If the next floor has a considerable, putrid excrement smell, this place will be much fresher, more like the smell of beasts.

Germain looked down and saw huge drag marks at his feet, as if there was really a car pulling an iron pillar and driving past.

He looked at the wall again, and sure enough he found scratch marks. The soil exposed in many dents was very fresh, and was incompatible with the surrounding moss-covered soil.

"In other words, something just passed by here. Judging from the movement of these traces, it is most likely from left to right. It is very large. Do you want to take a look?"

Germain was not sure whether Bisji and Xiaodi, who had yet to be heard from, were on the next floor, on this floor, or somewhere else.

Suddenly, the shaking that was enough to shake the cave stopped.

After a while, it sounded again, and this time it seemed to be more violent, so that a lot of gravel and dust fell on the top of Germain's head.

"After a strange pause, there was a violent reaction." Germain moved the hunter's black hat, shook off the gravel and dust, and put it back on his head. "It must have been an unexpected target."

"It's very possible that it's one of Bisji and Xiaodi, or they met both of them at the same time. If the guess is correct, I have to go over and support them now."

Germain was seventy or eighty percent confident in his conjecture. He held a flashlight and a flamethrower and ran quickly to the right.

While running, Germain noticed that new caves appeared from time to time on both sides, with new tunnels inside.

"It has a completely different structure from the one-way tunnel below. This is a tunnel that connects with each other. It is probably similar to a grid, right? This should be to facilitate the movement of that large creature."

The closer Germain got to the source of the sound, the louder the earthquake-like noise became, and the dust rising in front could not even be penetrated by the beam of flashlight or the tongue of flame from the flamethrower.

"Pressure +6"

"There is no point in using a flashlight in the dust. Instead, it still takes up one of my hands. It seems that I can only use the "circle" to judge. "

He pulled up the mask of the hunter's black robe to cover his mouth and nose, pushed down the hunter's three-cornered hat, turned off the flashlight, put it back in his backpack, and walked straight into the darkness.

The vibrations ahead continued, and Germain's "Circle" quickly detected an object not far away that was constantly swinging up and down, roughly in the shape of a cone.

"It should be the tail."

Germain replaced the flamethrower with a meat saw. In the blind darkness and swirling dust, his "Circle" captured the patterns and opportunities of that moment.

"It's now."

He deformed the saw blade with a click, stepped forward, and slashed hard on the huge, waving tail. It made a clanging sound and sparks flew everywhere.

"Scale? It's so hard, it didn't cut into it at all... If I were an enhancement type, or had a 'crit hit', I might be able to cut through this layer of scales."

The owner of the tail seemed to sense that there was an enemy behind it, but it could not turn around in the tunnel and could only shake its tail randomly, trying to hit the invisible enemy.

Germain has taken the initiative to withdraw from the range that his tail can whip.

It hammered against the stone walls, so that many of the larger stones broke off and piled up, blocking a third of the tunnel cross-section.

"Pressure +6"

"If it's really scales, there might be a way."

After finishing his speculation, Germain quickly stepped forward again, crossed the stone pile obstacle, deftly avoided the swipe of the tail, and extended the meat saw blade, accurately getting stuck between the scales in an instant.

With a sudden force, he pried open the scales at an oblique angle, and his left tool turned into a leech hidden sword that was pierced on his palm and wrist, and he suddenly thrust the short blade that popped out between the scales.

In the flash of lightning, Germain retreated again, this time hiding in the cave on the side.

And where the leech's hidden sword penetrated the scales, blood suddenly burst out with a "chi" sound, gushing out like a faucet that couldn't be turned off.

This is the ability of the Leech Hidden Sword. As long as the creature being stabbed has the concept of blood, it can be guaranteed to "bleed profusely" and the loss will be extremely fast.

If there is no way to stop the bleeding quickly, just one prick is enough for a human to bleed to death from excessive blood loss.

But for such a huge cave beast, it would probably take a long time just to bleed.

However, the thrust of the Leech Hidden Sword still had an impact on the beast.

The movement of its tail hitting the stone wall became more intense, and then with a strange hissing sound, it seemed to crawl forward, and its tail followed closely.
